Legoland

Legoland's history

Legoland is today a large chain of large theme parks, where the LEGO cliff is at the heart of all the parks experiences. The park itself is owned by Merlin Entertainments.

The first legoland park opened in Billund in 1968. At that time, the park was built by LEGO as the park was owned by LEGO.

The park featured a large exhibition of houses and townscapes made by LEGO and there were train lanes with running lanes and lakes with sailing ships. Later the park was expanded with the famous traffic school, where children could run harmlessly in small cars on a number of contiguous roads. The park was also expanded with an Indian camp and a puppet theater.

The success of the park and the fact that the LEGO gradually became a world-famous fire, meant that the interest in the park became bigger and bigger. It was instrumental in the construction of new Legoland parks in other cities throughout the world. Thus, today there are parks in:

Johor Bahru in MalaysiaWindsor in EnglandGünzburg in GermanyFlorida in the United StatesCalifornia in the United StatesDubai in United Arab EmiratesNagoya in JapanAt the beginning of the 2000s, the LEGO Group experienced a crisis that threatened the entire existence of the company. In this connection, it was decided to sell Legoland parks to Merlin Entertainments Group. However, LEGO still has a large stake in the parks as Kirkbi, the LEGO holding company, is a co-owner of the Merlin Entertainments Group. The Kirk family, which owns LEGO, thus bought 30% of the shares in Merlin Entertainments.
